[Yaesu] FT-990 EPROMUpgrade

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

The newer firmware (1.13) added the "short update" responses - 
in particular: 16 bytes of data (current operating parameters - 
command xx 00 00 02 10H) or 32 bytes of data (VFO A and VFO B - 
command xx 00 00 03 10H).   

Previous version of the firmware would only report all 1508 
bytes (the "full dump" - command xx 00 00 00 10H) containing 
VFO A, VFO B, all memories and the "Flags" data.  

Both N1MM Logger and Writelog require the 32 byte format report. 

73,
